...they're also touting their Regulated Voltage Control (RVC) system that is effectively an "on-demand only" field regulator system that holds battery voltage at ~ 12.3VDC instead of 14.7VDC all the time.

...instead, it only pumps the voltage up to 14.7VDC right after a heavy load (starting) then backs off to ~12.3VDC while cruising; but, goes back UP in alternator output voltage (if needed) during decelerations and breakings.

...good news for lamps and light bulbs, but not so good on batterys themselves.
